Human Rights, Hegemony, and Utopia in Latin America
Human Rights, Hegemony and Utopia in Latin America: Poverty, Forced Migration and Resistance in Mexico and Colombia by Camilo Pérez-Bustillo and Karla Hernández Mares explores the evolving relationship between hegemonic and counter-hegemonic visions of human rights, within the context of cases in contemporary Mexico and Colombia, and their broader implications. The first three chapters provide an introduction to the book ́s overall theoretical framework, which will then be applied to a series of more specific issues (migrant rights and the rights of indigenous peoples) and cases (primarily focused on contexts in Mexico and Colombia,), which are intended to be illustrative of broader trends in Latin America and globally.
Housing Policy in Latin American Cities
After the 1960s, rapid urbanization in developing regions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia was marked by the expansion of low-income "irregular" settlements that developed informally and which, by the 2000s, often constituted between 20-60 percent of the built-up area of metropolitan areas and other large cities. There has been a variety of research directed at the housing policies involved with these informal settlements, yet apart from the activities of Latin American Housing Network (LAHN), there has been minimal attention directed at the earliest portion of settlements that formed some 25-40 years ago that now form a large part of the intermediate ring of the cities. This volume breaks...
Journal of Latin American Theology, Volume 14, Number 2
This volume of the Journal of Latin American Theology and the spring 2020 volume are dedicated to providing an up-to-date analysis of Christianity in current Latin American societies.

Next, they describe contemporary Christianity in their nation, both Protestant and Catholic, as the respective churches respond to their national challenges. Then they explore what followers of Jesus in their countries would want t...
Militantes Clandestinos
Militantes clandestinos expone la experiencia de la Comisión Militar (COMIL) como organización autónoma del Partido Guatemalteco del Trabajo (PGT). La creación de dicha Comisión, en febrero de 1976, respondió a la exigencia de la militancia para impulsar la guerra revolucionaria popular. Su desarrollo político y militar generó contradicciones internas o recrudecieron las ya existentes, lo cual precipitó su escisión del Comité Central y sus miembros buscaron conformar el nuevo partido comunista de Guatemala, bajo el nombre de Partido Guatemalteco del Trabajo-Partido Comunista (PGT-PC). La obra narra, en términos generales, una parte de la historia de este partido comunista, y en l...
